How about this take in Iraq:

As Ayn Rand would say, the people of Iraq had no rights as the country was controlled by a dictator that they refused to take action and oust yet despised. The basic concept is that when a country is controlled by an invader such as a dictator it is subject to invasion by any other, in this case the US.

Iraq is now free to do with herself as she pleases. It seems as though now that they no longer worry about saddam and we have let them be as they desire, they desire war with each other.

Ayn Rand was a brilliant woman who was flawed in various aspects. It's pretty hard to exercise your “Free Will” when you are being marched into a mass grave. But it is easy to climb on a high horse and self-righteously declare that the people of Iraq "refused to take action" .. when you never had the gun pointed at your own head.

I think that "take on Iraq" .. stinks.
